What nick is it in? Actually, instead of me having to guess a price - why don't you just name a price you're willing to let it leave at at and I'll see if it's right?

Guitars:
ESP Viper (I bought it when I was in hardcore bands. but now I just hate it. Looks too metal. Metal guitars are piss)
G&L Tribute Telecaster
Yamaha 912J Pacifica
and a cheapo Yamaha 112 Pacifica.
And an even cheaper Yamaha ERG, my first guitar, pasted in stickers, with an EMG81 in the bridge.

Amps:
Marshall JCM2000 DSL50, Modded to get rid of the fizz, and add more warmth and crunch. Sounds less like a fizzy wanky metal fest now, and more like a JCM800
Don't have a cab at the moment. I did have a Matamp cab which was the tits, but I had to sell it to move up here. Disaster.

Pedals:
Marshall Guv'nor, for boost.
Boss tuner pedal.


I'm pining for a Rickenbacker or a Gretsch of somekind though right now

Just thought I'd agree with Soundian about 'phones......if I mix using phones the levels are usually all to pot, so I always use monitors. They're fine for actual recording though, especially if you've got thin walls!

Stripey said that, although I have to agree as well. I use open backed headphones mostly to set up a basic mix; it's easier to hear little coughs, rustling paper etc and the stereo imaging is more accurate (how many drumkits have I heard that seem to be 30 feet wide, ugh). I'll check my final mix with my open phones as well because if it doesn't sound good on them as well I've done something wrong.

its in totally pristine nick, after each gig it was used at, it was put back in the box and still has all the manuals etc. I would be looking for somewhere in the region of £80 for it as it is the triamp model, but I'm totally unsure whether I should part with it, got something coming up that I might need it for, but if I do decide to get rid of it, you will be the boy a I talk to. Price sound ok?
